39. THEY DID IT! Atrahasis Accounts have been Verified! New Cuneiform Writings PROVE Igigi Were BROUGHT HERE
The story of Atrahasis, the Babylonian story of the Flood and a precursor to the flood story in the Gilgameš Epic (Tablet XI), offers some evidence on the relationship between the Annunaki and the Igigu. The poem begins with the lines "When the gods like men bore the work and suffered the toil, the toil of the gods was great, the work was heavy, the distress was much" (lines 1-4). The composition continues: "The Seven great Anunnaki were making the Igigu suffer the work" (lines 5-6). What follows is partly fragmentary, but seems to indicate that the Igigu gods did not want to work any more and therefore the Anunnaki had to find a solution. Ultimately, this led to the creation of humans, who from then on had to bear the gods' work. In this story it appears that the Igigu were subordinate to the Anunnaki. It is unclear which deities were included in the Igigu group.
